GOOD NEWS! We now have hundreds of new good businesses featured in the app, thanks to the Living Wage Movement, Cooperative Business New Zealand and Enviromark. Stay tuned for even more good businesses which will be listed in the near future!

HOW IT WORKS

Discover businesses that are taking action. We make it easy to discover businesses nearby and online that are taking action on a range of social and environmental issues:

- Waste reduction
- Climate change
- Organic, Fair Trade, and Vegan products
- Sustainable sourcing
- Paying the Living Wage
- Social enterprise
- Supporting charities
- Responsible investing
- Made in NZ

We do the research for you. We award businesses badges for the action they are taking on social and environmental issues. We verify every claim using data from dozens of accrediting organisations. See our impact framework: https://nz.cogo.co/impact-framework

Find businesses taking action on what matters to you. Tell us what matters most to you and we will show you which businesses are taking action on those issues, so that you can feel good about the businesses and brands that you buy from.

Tell a business what matters to you and help them to change for the better. When you make a purchase with 
a business listed on CoGo, we tell that business anonymously what matters to you. Businesses use this data to decide what new social and environmental initiatives they should invest in. It works by linking your payment card (eftpos or credit) to the app, so that when you make a purchase with a CoGo business we get notified and can tell that business what you and thousands of other CoGo users care about most.
